H1i plus and Avalanche beacon

In the avalanche beacon instructions, it is advertised to put on body and further away from the phone. 

wondering anyone has experience with gps device and the beacon. Like, treated the same as cellphone, or can be put closer to the beacon? The gps is a device that receives signal only, not sending.

For Inreach , maybe turn off satellite tracking?

Or, maybe Inreach mini , 2 or 3 or 3 plus, is better for this situation for some reason? 

  • Electromagnetic Interference

    Electromagnetic interference, also known as EMI, may have a negative impact on the ability of an inReach to communicate with satellites. EMI can come from human-made equipment, like high-voltage electrical lines, or naturally occurring events, such as lightning, solar flares, and electrical storms. Moving an inReach device away from equipment, machinery, or environmental conditions that are known to produce EMI would be recommended to allow the inReach device to have a better connection to satellites.
